Infrastructure-Free Robot Navigation

A robot that can only follow a fixed path stops being useful the moment its environment changes.

Alfa Intelligence Research develops navigation systems that let mobile robots localize, map, plan routes, and adapt in real time — the robot adapts to the site, not the other way around.

The systems can operate indoors and in other GPS-denied environments without relying on floor markers, beacons, fixed paths, or GNSS RTK base stations — reducing the infrastructure needed to deploy and reconfigure autonomous platforms.

Capabilities:

• Localization and mapping in GPS-denied environments
• Visual, LiDAR, and multi-sensor SLAM
• Navigation without GNSS RTK base-station infrastructure where the environment allows
• Real-time obstacle detection and avoidance
• Dynamic path planning and replanning
• Map creation and updating
• Sensor fusion for robust localization
• Navigation through changing environments
• Integration with autonomous mobile robots (AMRs), autonomous forklifts, inspection robots, and other mobile platforms
• Interfaces to higher-level mission planning and robotic control systems
